Mmmmm: never been to Croft. Thinking about it...

Bring your wellies and waterproofs... it is forecast bad weather (what a surprise)

I'll be there both days and hope to meet a few people (look out for the TNF shirt)

The weather Gods were kind and the pestilence that was forecast missed Croft. It was a brilliant 2 days of racing, classic cars, military displays and even a Spitfire doing low-level aerobatics on Saturday.

Here are a few pics to give a flavour or the meeting. I have many more so let me know of any special requests....

My theory is that having tried venturing beyomd 4000 rpm in the heat of competition Judy decided she liked it - 6 seconds a lap quicker than her qualifying. Now achieving same lap time as ..ahem .. your correspondent managed in a 1.4 Caterham. So clearly I am a driving god ....

but in our case somewhat expensive, did engine in practise (piston and conrod now in diffrent postcodes) changed engine then spun in the race clipping a valve resulting in de-arranged valves and stripped valve gear - hey ho.

And bloody MSV only will allow pre 80 cars to do displays - so that scuppers my cheap ticket to take the Seven(our Lotus Seven Club has done an infield display in recent years ) ...Thanks JP...Hope folk enjoy looking at 1966 HA Vivas instead, I know I shan't.

Just back from my 18th visit to Angouleme for the Circuit des Remparts. Another marvellous weekend in this very friendly town, graced by splendid weather. Only TNFer spotted was Nick Savage who had driven down with his 1938 Lancia Aprilia, in company with Alfaholic Paul Gregory and his Alfa Giulia. Mr Savage's Lancia at the rally startThe strikingly elegant Touring-bodied Alfa 2.9 replica by the Argentinian Pur-Sang companyThe prototype-winning March 73S of Nicolas MaurelBMW 320i of Emanuel RollandeauBugatti ace Gregory Ramouna took two wins in typical style with his 35BBest entertainment came from French TV sports presenter Gerard Holtz with a Porsche 911

And a few French single-seaters...I always had a soft spot for Alpines - Yann Littee's A336...and Martinis. Jean-Pierre Bertrand, Mk30One that was new to me, the BBMX12/01 of David RocherBertrand Benne, MEP X27Alain Dufresne, Lefevre 500

Alan, did you hear any mention or news about the being-restored Guidobaldi?

No, nothing mentioned. However, I thought it had been restored a couple of years ago by French airline pilot David Humbert. I have an article from La Vie de l'Auto in which the Guidomobile was fully described and photographed, and the article concluded by saying that the car was undergoing testing. I can send you a scan if you wish.

Sorry about that Allan, looks like Facebook may have changed settings so only members can see, they are forever messing with it..! Please try this one instead of the Snetterton VSCC, hope it works:http://s1288.photobu...9/andrewkitson/

Two HWMs there I haven't seen for a few years – the ex-Kirk Rylands one and the hillclimb car, which I used to see racing 20+ years ago. Can't remember the driver, but it was very fast. Good to see the VSCC is still doing what it's always done.

That works well, thanks.It's a while since I went to a VSCC race meeting and I'm pleased to see so many of the "old guard" are not only still racing but were game to learn a new track.The results show they learned well and your photos show that too.

The Autumn Classic meeting will include races for Historic Aston Martins, pre-1966 Jaguars, the Healey Driver International Big Healey race for the John Gott Memorial Trophy, FiSCar 50’s Intermarque, HRVA V8s and VSCC pre-war sports cars – and no races for modern cars.

A reminder that the Castle Combe Autumn Classic is on tomorrow – and the weather forecast is for a fine, sunny day.

The entry list and timetable are here: Autumn Classic 6th Octoberalthough that doesn’t include the HVRA V8 series that is also running on Sunday.

In addition Julian Bronson should be demonstrating his GP Scarab, Dick Skipworth’s ex-Sir James Scott Douglas Jaguar XK120 (which he raced at Combe in 1952) should be present along with the Ecurie Ecosse transporter, and the Bristol Motor Club have a display of pre-70 cars, as listed here: BristolMC Display
